@sixamcomics @brian_shearer It is a singular work.

It's available internationally as well, so get at it! In addition, an eBook version will be available soon, apologies that it wasn't ready yet (it's been a process), but I'll have it up within the next week, God-willing.

I just want to thank everybody who's been supportive of this book, I know it's been a long time coming, and I promise Part Two will be on the way very soon.

I truly hope you enjoy it. Those of you willing to give it a shot, thank you so much–I appreciate you taking a chance on me. It's been my true joy and pleasure to make it for all of you.

Featured here is an illustration by Frank Frazetta from The Ultimate Triumph (Wandering Star, 1999), a landmark limited-edition collection of Robert E. Howard’s heroic fantasy. Gathering seven stories and five poems from Howard’s original manuscripts, the volume centers on one of his defining philosophical tensions: barbarism versus civilization. ⚔️

I would watch this version if they remade them. Finally embracing Samuel L. Jacksons influence on the franchise.

AI creates the opportunity to operate a production studio the same way an easy bake oven gave kids a kitchen.

The product is real and consuming it will become addictive enough as the stories begin to land with an audience, same way parents put their kids to work once they realized how tasty those cakes could be.

The Council of Elrond in Ralph Bakshi’s 1978 "The Lord of the Rings" is a masterpiece of rotoscoping. From John Hurt’s Aragorn to Anthony Daniels’ Legolas, this scene laid the groundwork for all future Middle-earth adaptations. A true cult classic! 🎬

How me and AI collaborate at work

@UncWorldwide @Gossip_Goblin We are all entertainment now.

[Smilingbandito @Smilingbandito]

There is both a decay and a celebration in what it means to be human in this. The work mirroring the use of the tools itself. Those calling it art, are right. Those calling it the erosion of art are right.

It's going to be a very different world in another 5 years.

😁My commentary on one piece does not preclude my commentary on another.

Hopefully you're not salty. I'm a fan since the weird creature images and all through your gnome phase.

I'm not the guy to tell you to stop, though maybe I don't see the world exactly the same way you do, but I am relieved of that responsibility as the viewer of the work. What it says to me might well be different than what it says to another and potentially not as intended from the person producing it.

But I'm here for the ride, even if you rope me off to the hater section. It's a shame though if you do.

[Sven Stoffels @svenstoffels]

He's not completely wrong. Generative AI lacks any process of creation, and therefore cannot be considered art. AI can become a tool to assist in the creation of genuine art.

But neither is most of the slop that "artists" have been churning out over the past decade. A decade of top-down, socially engineered, committee-approved corpo slop propaganda turned artists into a production line prompted by HR departments.

Too afraid to express genuine truth and meaning. So AI didn't replace artists, they replaced themselves.

Mariachi Legends is a brutal pixel art Metroidvania set in the heart of Mexico, where you make a deal with Lady Death for the power to fight against evil, but in exchange for having to hunt down a man who defied her power and became immortal
